You are mistaken. User uploads, unofficial remixes, mixtapes, anime music videos, entire video game soundtrack rips, etc. All in the YouTube Music app. https:/

  To +1 the general "youtube music is youtube": every time I've given the YT music app a try, I've started listening to [what I wanted] only to end up in random youtube mixes (not YT-music-mixes of just studio-uploaded stuff, youtube videos titled "mix" or otherwise, sometimes 10h long, with accompanying looped graphics and sometimes VPN advertising segments and like-and-subscribes strewn throughout randomly) after a few songs. YTM is YT plus music, not a separate thing. It's very clearly intentionally forced to be that way. It's the primary reason I think it's an awful service (the general UX is a very close second). It does, however, have the benefit of niche user uploads like this existing because it's YT.

    Bizarre. Either you used YouTube Music about a decade ago, or you're just making shit up.

      You can verify the claims for yourself, just check those links above. They're not even slightly abnormal.

        I believe the links. The guy is searching for fringe stuff. You can even copy watch ids from YouTube, which is likely what was done here. But if you are any ordinary user and you are searching on YouTube Music for a playlist and somehow you got a 10 hour random person's video, either you're spectacularly terrible at search, or you're full of shit. https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k1r7WuL0tHO3MlQoTXGDXZ3DXtfgwD0R0 https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k1r7WuL0tHO3... https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=RDCLAK5uy_nEp0Hf_BHJeTM5kZCA3jGWjdGVU0K0hrc https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=RDCLAK5uy_nEp0Hf_BHJ... https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lkXb3jknk1xqavs24LqPK3PKJBwG9iiek https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lkXb3jknk1xq... https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lSPskzOTM8LqxczYvA_dmxxHV59VyUnWM https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lSPskzOTM8Lq... https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=RDCLAK5uy_lsb8F7kGME8Z61OLDR_9pdk0GGaxGPkcA https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=RDCLAK5uy_lsb8F7kGME... Look, I can link to random stuff too. A couple of YouTube curated playlists, and some of millions of albums. All songs direct from publishers. Zero imaginary ads, or bizarre "videos".

          Why are you so sure that your experience is the one true YouTube Music experience, and several other people telling you they have other experiences are "making shit up"?

          > which is likely what was done here Incorrect. All of those links are taken from the YouTube Music app on Android via search. Some are contrived, but the point is that there is a wide range of counterexamples to your assertion that YouTube Music is this siloed thing that's only music direct from publishers. Here's a more straightforward example. I search for "action bronson blue chips 2" [1] The top result is "Action Bronson Blue Chips 2 ((Full Album)) - Please Subscribe" from user 'Lpmixtapes compilation and mixtapes...'[2] The official release [3] is a page scroll down. So, I don't think it's reasonable to call people "terrible at search" when these things literally come up as top results in search and are fair game for the recommendation algo to slide into your stream, or "full of shit" when they can give you specific examples of how things you've said are wrong.

  Mea culpa. Having said that, having done thousands of search for countless bands, albums, and songs, and having listened to countless playlists, I have never, ever encountered an unofficial track. It has always been first-party official releases. I guess it's that I'm not looking for stuff for which there isn't a direct licensed track. But the earlier comments about "uploaded with that quality" and talking about replacement tracks is simply wrong for the vast majority of people. You're going to be listening to the music distributors version. I guess if you're looking for anime music or something where an official listing simply doesn't exist then it's the alternative to nothing.
